Open Wardrobes

With the flurry of Fringe there were a handful of shows I didn't get around to reviewing, so here's a brief recap: Agamemnon: A valiant effort at updating the Greek tragedy, but unfortunately the script doesn't quite come through and the sock puppet… more »

I only made it to one show yesterday, my one day off from rehearsals, performances, and volunteering. Kelly and I decided to catch Noah Bremer's latest creation Untitled Duet with Houseplant. This piece was nothing short of joyful. From the moment… more »

My second show on Saturday, sticking around the U of MN's Rarig Center was The Tenth Muse, written and performed by out-of-towner Elisa Korenne. I met Elisa recently at one of the library showcases and enjoyed the show she performed there, so I wanted… more »
